I have a female chinese hamster, she looks adorable and is probably the most self aware animal I have ever seen, however she's very aggressive, and I'm not sure what to do with it. I haven't given up just..
1. If anything goes near her cage she lunges like a crazed killer.
2. If she doesn't do that, if she can she physically trys to take a bite out of anything close to her
3. I need gloves to handle her, and by this I wait till she climbs out and gently picks up, if I don't, she will physically bite down and latch herself onto whatevers in her cage.
The Behavior is bizzare, I thought maybe she was angry about having a small cage and not much to do. Fixed this by buying a huge, overly expensive play area.
No real effect, she's just plain mean spirited. I've never encoutered such an aggressive little animal. No one here as ever done anything to her, if anything everyone besides me leaves her alone.
What more can I do to make this animal's life better? If she doesn't like people that's fine with me, I just want to make sure her quality of life is the best it can be.
